We dive into his struggles with identity and social anxiety, his transformative healing path in Israel, the role of plant medicine, and how he now supports others through breathwork, somatic therapy, group workshops, and community healing spaces following October 7th. At the end we play a couple songs together. You can find Levi on his website levisaada.com or on instagram @levisaada","meta_description":"In this episode, I sit down with Levi Saada to explore his journey from a Haredi ultra-Orthodox upbringing to modern Orthodox life, yeshiva, college, and…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4808,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/practical-spiritual-tidbits-7330005/episodes/ep-54-conversation-with-levi-saada/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/practical-spiritual-tidbits-7330005/ep-54-conversation-with-levi-saada.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
